Chemistry Instruments

The Department of Physical Sciences maintains a variety of modern laboratory instruments for use in classes and for supervised undergraduate research. Most of our facilities were funded through external grants awarded over the last several years. Our instrument collection includes:

ARL-SEMQ Electron Microprobe with Bruker solid-state energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and four wavelength-dispersive spectrometers (WDS) (Funded by the WV Research Trust Fund; Geology). Used to analyze chemistry of micrometer-sized areas in solids.
